The 2019 Pinot Noir Occidental Vineyard is bright and effusive. Blood orange, exotic spice, mint, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and dried herbs lend notable aromatic presence. Behind that is a deep core of fruit that is going to need time to unwind. The 80% whole clusters are evident, but not intrusive. Planted in 1978, these are believed to be the oldest own-rooted Pinot vines in the West Sonoma Coast. I would give this a few years to soften. (AG)
